So I Went Out To Eat Tonight and..

[Theoris]

It has never crossed my mind that people do that when sharing one table, but this is probably the biggest nonissue I've seen someone on this forum get outraged by.

Obviously never saw Orlong's other threads.

I've not had the pleasure before now, yes.

His entire act is pretty funny, he gets a lot of people riled up to. He's admitted it's just an act though and you can see him posting out of character where he actually makes sense.

So I went to a nice restaurant tonight and had to shake my head. Here there 2 idiots sitting on the same side of the table and nobody on the other side. Why would people do this? First of all, it looks stupid. Secondly, they cant talk to each other while looking in each others faces. And it wasnt like there was a TV to watch on the wall or something where only one could see it if they sat across from each other. People who sit on the same side of the table are total idiots in my opinion and should be forced to sit across from each other. Does this outrage anyone else?

All I could think of was "Next up on Peter's "Grind My Gears" segment".

On topic, personally if that's what they want to do then so be it. Who are we to force people to do things like this if they didn't want to. I mean we could all compile a list of what we think people should be forced to do, but ultimately it'd just be dumb.

If some one is putting a douchebag act on regularly, whether on forums or IRL is pretty much what I consider to be a bit a of a douchebag. Claiming to be an idiot for fun doesn't omit you from being an idiot.

[Orlong]

it's sad that this "outrages" you. mind your own god damn business and don't worry what other people are doing when it doesn't effect you in the slightest.

But it DOES affect me. It sets off my OCD because its asymmetrical.

[Orlong]

How else would I get a dose of sweet nothings whispered in my ear? Or show her pictures of cats on my phone? Duh.

Restaurants are for eating, not making out or whispering dirty talk. Also you can turn your phone around to show pictures

Their OCD wanted to shit-talk about you while they watched you have all-you-can-eat quadruple cheeseburgers. No joke!

Can't secretly record you whilst shit talking!

Do you also get upset when two people sit side by side on a public transport then? Whatever they know each other or not.

You never been in a relationship have you?

Right, are you talking actual OCD or 'OCD' as in 'like omg, it's not aligned right I totally have OCD!'

Either way it doesn't matter, because it's nobody else's problem.

You claim this in every thread, yet have refused to link proof. I have NEVER said that

You sit together on the couch or in a movie theater. NOT in a restaurant

It's easier to make out with my boyfriend if we're on the same side of the table.

[Sky High]

I'm sure they did it for no other reason then to piss you off personally Orlong, or I at least that's my hope. my only regret is I wan't there to see your "outrage" first hand.

Maybe sitting across from each other sets off their OCD?

Restaurants are for eating, not making out or whispering dirty talk.

Also not for spying on what people at other tables are doing. Eyes on your own work.

Also you can turn your phone around to show pictures

But you can't look at those pictures together if you're on opposite sides of the table.

[Orlong]

Well, you're going to have to get over it. You're out in public and people don't need to help you with your OCD issues.

Perhaps restaurants could provide mannequins to place on the opposite side of the table so others with OCD arent affected

Were they both sitting on the side with their backs to the wall? Maybe they were really gun fighters and not taking any chances. In any case, how people sit isn't high on my list of annoyances at a restaurant.
